Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation shows a Windows-first bias, particularly in the 'Protect files and folders on VMs' section, where the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent is listed as a backup solution only for Windows, with no equivalent Microsoft solution mentioned for Linux. Third-party solutions are listed for both Windows and Linux, but no first-party (Microsoft) Linux backup solution is referenced. There are no OS-specific command examples, but the ordering and solution coverage favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Include information about Microsoft-supported Linux backup solutions, if available, such as Azure Backup for Linux VMs.
  • If no first-party Linux solution exists, explicitly state this and provide guidance or best practices for Linux VM backup.
  • Ensure parity in documentation by listing Linux options alongside Windows options, not after.
  • Where possible, provide Linux-specific examples or references, especially in sections where only Windows solutions are detailed.
